Prior to making any finding with respect to
a pending application for a building permit, the Board of Trustees
shall review the site plan that has been filed with the Village Clerk
pursuant to this Article. The provisions of this section shall not
apply to any determinations made by the Board of Trustees with respect
to the facade of a building.
The Board of Zoning and Appeals established
pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall not have the power
to review any action taken by the Board of Trustees in regard to finding
or failing to find that a building or building facade meets the requirements
of this chapter. The Board of Zoning and Appeals, however, shall have
the power in conformity with law to grant a variance with respect
to the requirements of this chapter. Application for such a variance
may be made to the Board of Zoning and Appeals either in advance of
or after the Board of Trustees has determined whether the proposed
building or building facade conforms to the requirements of this chapter.
Any application for a building permit must be
accompanied by 10 copies of a site plan, which site plan shall be
filed with the Village Clerk. The site plan shall include the following
information:
A. Existing land use and all structures for a distance
of at least 500 feet on all sides of the applicant's site.
B. The type of structure which is proposed including
color and material illustrated by a floor plan sketch and front, side
and rear elevations, drawn to scale. Accessory structures shall also
be drawn.

both vehicular and pedestrian access and egress.
D. On-site parking facilities and loading and refuse
collection areas, drawn to scale.
E. An estimate of the number of employees and patrons
who will be using the site on a full-time or part-time basis.
F. Landscaping and/or screening proposals including the
type, size and location of the plantings, trees and shrubs.
G. Sketches which show the required yard space, together
with illustrations, drawn to scale, of all improvements, and samples
of proposed building materials, together with a description of the
building materials to be used.
